How does this card-making game work? It's simple! Whenever your card receives a vote in the day's poll, you receive [1] point for the month. If your card ends up with the most votes for that day, you will receive [2] additional points for the month. In the event of a tie, each person who tied receives [1] additional point. At the end of each month, the person with the most points on the scoreboard wins that month, then the scoreboard is cleared for the next month. You can participate in as many or as few days as you want in any month.
Rules
Each day you may post any card you want. On the next day all of the posted cards will be put into a poll the thread as long as your card didn't get disqualified - see the next point for more details. If you post more than one card in a DCC thread, only the first card you post will be taken.
When you vote, you need to make exactly two votes for two different people. Vote for the cards that are listed in the first post, not other cards being posted in the thread. If you notice that you've only voted for one person, include your second vote in a post, even if you're not submitting a card.
If you want to change your vote for any reason, post that change in the day's thread (you can include it with your card if you want). Changed votes in the discussion thread will be ignored.
Voting for only one person, for three or more people, or for yourself will earn you an asterisk by your name in the monthly leaderboard. So will failing to vote if you've posted a card. (We're not going to do anything about people who don't vote or post cards; that would be kind of silly.) This indicates that you're on probation for the next 21 days. If you're on probation and you make another improper vote, your card will be disqualified. Repeated disqualification is grounds for warnings and/or infractions for not following the game rules, so please don't do it.
Voting for everything in the poll will be grounds for a lifetime ban from the DCC. Don't do it. It just wastes the thread creators' time.
If you wish to post a render, please use the hyperlink option when posting your card and make the card name the image link. Renders are usually large enough to clog up the list, so submit a text-formed card and (optionally) a link in the name to the render.
This thread is just for your card submission. Take your questions/comments to our discussion thread. If it's a question, comment, or complaint about probation, PM me instead and I'll explain it.
Anyone can post the new thread for the day. When you post it, make sure that:
You have a poll in the thread;
You include everyone's cards (excluding cards that have been disqualified);
The poll is marked as public and multiple choice with a one-day time limit; and
You update the leaderboard with the previous day's scores.
(An easy way to post the new thread is to hit the multiquote button on every post in the previous day's thread, then click Post Reply. Select everything in this post, copy it, and then paste it into the first post for a new thread. You'll have to clean up a few small things, like quote tags around the opening post and the previous day's cards.)
Note of the Day
Congratulations to Flatline for winning January.
In unrelated news, I'm tired, my head hurts, and I feel old. Must be my birthday.
Clawing Consumption4BB
Sorcery (C)
Destroy target creature. You gain life equal to its toughness. Willam had lived his whole life hungry, but it wasn't his hunger that killed him.
Kalpechi Dragonbreaker2UB
Creature - Zombie (R)
As long as you control two or more Forests, Kalpechi Dragonbreaker has reach.
As long as there are two or more Forest cards in your graveyard, Kalpechi Dragonbreaker has Dragon bane. (If a creature with bane toward a specific creature type would deal damage to a creature of that type, it deals twice that much damage instead.) One life is only enough to scratch the surface of the lives of dragons - and so the greatest dragon hunters are undead instead, building on their tactics as ages pass.
3/3
Votes: Advent, Groovelord
HM: Indighost - I would have voted for this if it read "whenever a nontoken creature dies.."
I'm all for pushing the boundaries of what's acceptable in MTG, but unless I'm missing something, refine would fundamentally change the game of Magic. If 14 cards were printed with this ability, it would be possible to make a deck of 53 refine cards and the 7 cards you need to win 1st turn, every time. Basically, it would negate the "Decks must have a minimum of 60 cards" rule.
Blazing Beebles
Creature - Beeble (U)
Haste
Whenever Blazing Beebles attacks, it deals 1 damage to each player.
2/1
Blazing Beebles are identical to other Beebles in every way, except they're on fire.
Warp Intent1U
Instant (R)
Change the text of target spell or permanent by replacing all instances of one permanent type with another until end of turn. "I thought you said you knew how to use that spell?"
- Artex Galla
Return target creature from your graveyard and target creature from an opponent's graveyard to the battlefield in their owner's control. If the opponent's creature is higher or equal converted mana cost to yours, Met Halfway costs 2 less to cast.
Conclave AssemblyXGW
Sorcery (M)
Put an X/X green Elemental creature token onto the battlefield and put X 1/1 white Elemental creature tokens onto the battlefield.
This month, I'll post random cards I've designed, not meant for other contests. First, there will be a cycle of five new legendary creatures with grandeur, then the theme will be "cards that could have been in FRF".
Venerated Archangel4WWW
Legendary Creature — Angel (M)
Flying, first strike, vigilance Grandeur — Discard another card named Venerated Archangel: Put five 1/1 white Human creature tokens onto the battlefield.
5/5
Frontline Courser 2G
Creature - Centaur Warrior (U)
Vanguard (Attacking creatures with vanguard must be blocked, if able, before attacking creatures without vanguard can be blocked.)
Whenever ~ becomes blocked, you gain 2 life.
2/2
Votes:
Flatline - Dude this card is epic and I think you could even get away with making it GW
Guesswork - Love this idea.. Feel like it should be rare though.. can see people just running 4 to lower there deck. maybe Limit 2 per deck? I dunno
Secrecy Warfare RWU Enchantment
Face down creature's you control get +1/+1 and have haste.
Whenever a creature enters the battlefield face down under your control, you may pay 1. If you do, Draw a card.
No, the last two cards were not "alternate version of Khans block".
It's an entirely different dragon-related setting, with wedge-colored Elder Dragons.
Tyrmach Abelon2GGUUBB
Legendary Creature - Elder Dragon (M)
Flying
At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice Tyrmach Abelon unless you pay GUB.
Whenever Tyrmach Abelon attacks, you may return a creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped and attacking. If you do, sacrifice that creature at the beginning of the next end step.

Chaos Schism5RR
Sorcery (R)
Each player chooses another player. Reveal those choices simultaneously. Starting with you, each player exchanges control of all permanents he or she controls with the player he or she chose this way.
Reforge2RW
Instant [R]
As an additional cost to cast Reforge, sacrifice an Equipment.
Search your library for an Equipment card, put it onto the battlefield attached to target creature you control, then shuffle your library.
Torturous Demise2BB
Sorcery (R)
Destroy target creature. It's controller reveals his or hand. That player discards all cards with a converted mana cost less than the creature's that was destroyed this way. Best to flee such an end then to accept it.
Ancestral Sphinx4UU
Legendary Creature — Sphinx (M)
Flying
When Ancestral Sphinx enters the battlefield or attacks, choose a card type, then you reveal a card at random from your hand. If it’s a card of the chosen type, draw a card. (Artifact, creature, enchantment, instant, land, planeswalker, sorcery, and tribal are card types.) Grandeur — Discard another card named Ancestral Sphinx: Draw three cards.
